#merry mistlefoe season!

[softquietsteadylove]

How about them going ice skating? Gil is pretending he can’t ice skate so Thena helps him and guides him but then Thena challenges him to skate alone but with every challenge there is an award right? So he says something like if I can skate to the other side without help or falling I get a kiss. And she agrees fully believing he can’t so he surprises her how naturally he can skate. Some fluff and humor :D

you choose wich AU it should be. The Thenamesh receptionist AU or the Thenamesh Ice Queen/ Tyrant King AU :)

Gil inhaled the cool, crisp air of the outdoor rink. There were other people skating, light chatter, the scent of zamboni fluid and hot cocoa in the air. It was perfect!

Thena gasped as Gil fell forward and flat on his face. She made her way back to him in her pristine white figure skates. "Are you okay?"

"Ugh," he groaned as she helped him pick himself up (which was never going to be an easy task in any form of skate). "Fine, just tripped over a chip in the ice or something."

The Ice Queen smiled, though. Maybe it was the light snow dancing in the breeze, or maybe it was the twinkling lights everywhere. But she took his hands in hers, gloves on gloves, and started skating backwards gently. "Just hold onto me."

Gil happily followed suit, moving at her pace, careful of his movements. How could he say no to that?

And sure, he didn't really need her help--not like this, at least. But who was he to say no to his Princess?--his Queen, rather.

Gil shuffled along, not really having to fake any clumsy movements when all he was really trying to do was stay as close to Thena as possible. She had a natural grace to her, as always, guiding him around the rink with his hands in hers. "Why haven't we done this before?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well," he shrugged, smiling at the stunning woman with her blond hair floating around her and the faux-fur collar of her coat on her cheek. "You are the Ice Queen, after all."

Thena rolled her eyes. "How did you become so respected when your jokes are so terrible?"

"Couldn't tell you, Sweetheart," he chuckled, happy to let his girlfriend lead him around. "When did you learn to skate?"

"When I was young," she shrugged, still moving blithely without a care to those who may be behind her as she led Gil by the hand. Everyone made room for them, anyway, between the intimidating beauty of Thena and the sheer size of him behind her.

Gil stared at her, though, eager just to keep holding her hands and hear her talk more. "Did you do it seriously?"

"No, it was just one of the many activities I was supposed to do," Thena mused. She didn't have to explain further, and they both knew Gil already knew what she was talking about when she brought it up.

Just like Gil came from a long line of people in the business, Thena's family also was the foundation upon which her current empire was founded.

"What else did you do?" he asked, hoping to hear more as he followed her around and around.

"I suppose the things everyone at boarding school did," she sufficed before looking up at him again. "Think you can handle it?"

"Handle what?"

Thena let go of his hands, turning away from him and leaving him standing on the half line. "You seem to be doing fine. See if you can reach the far wall and back without me."

Oh, it was a challenge. She hadn't even noticed that he didn't really need her help not falling. Well, if she asked, he would tell her that he had fallen for her a long time ago, and then she would roll her eyes, and pretend she didn't think it was funny, but she'd have that cute smile on-

"Gil!"

"Hm?" he blinked, returning his attention to the woman even shorter than him than normal in their skates. He tilted his head at her, "what do I get if I do?"

"Bribery, really?" she raised a brow at him.

"Come on, Princess, number one rule of business," he chuckled, leaning closer to her, "nothing comes for free."

"Fine," she sighed, leaning away from him primly. "What do you want?"

"A kiss."

"Just a kiss?" she raised her brow at him and he nodded as if she were promising him riches beyond belief. She shook her head at him, "fine, one kiss--go."

Gil took off like a shot, able to propel himself rapidly with the muscles he had. He made it there and back in record time, skidding to a halt just beside her so he didn't get ice shavings on her.

Thena stared at him, her jaw bobbing. "Wh-"

"Sorry, baby," he chuckled, coming right up to her and rubbing her arms with his hands, "but I can skate fine. I really did trip on something when we first got here, but you were the one who started leading me around."

"But-"

"And I wasn't going to say no to holding your hands," Gil shrugged innocently, perfectly accepting of it as she slapped his arm hard enough for onlookers to seem concerned. "Now, I believe I have a reward to collect."

"You are unbelievable."

"Hey, a deal's a deal, Ice," he grinned down at her, although he soon leaned down to be in a better position for kissing. "Business is business."

Thena's lips twisted as she leaned up and in slowly, and not steadily. Her eyes darted away a few times and Gil was delighted to see a soft and pretty blush in her cheeks. His Ice Queen had a shy side to her when it came to the smallest of affections.

Gil closed his eyes, always in bliss as Thena touched her lips to his. She pulled back, satisfied with the deal. But she didn't go far, and that was all the sign Gil needed to lean in, asking for another one.

Thena let him wrap his arms around her, her hands sneaking into his open coat and onto his chest as she leaned up for him. They parted again, her needing to breathe just a little more heavily than before. Gil pressed his nose to her cheek, their eyelashes brushing each other's skin as they hovered still entangled.

Gil smiled at her, letting her pull away just enough for him to get to see those killer green eyes again.

Thena did her best to feign some disapproval, "what did I tell you about kissing in public?"

"Hey, this was my prize to collect," he smiled at her, kissing her cheek, "no conditions apply."

Thena shook her head at him again, although she clearly wasn't exasperated enough to pull away as he pressed a kiss to her cheek. "Fine; pleasure doing business."

"Oh," he winked at her, "pleasure's all mine, Ice."

"Insufferable man."

"Excuse me," he chuckled, taking her hand in his and now the one to pull her into his pace, "but you still owe me a date, Ice. So I guess you'll just have to suffer through it."

“Oh look, mistlefoe... you know what that means? Season’s Beatings.”

[em-dualism]

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! What a season! The snow is falling, the cookies and cocoa are warm, your enemies lie unconscious beneath the mistlefoe, and it’s just overall a day full of cheer! Wouldn’t you guys agree? How are you spending your Christmas Day?

"Well, ahah, as I said before, we don't have much out of the ordinary going on this year. Cocoa was good though!"

"...wait, what was that last one."

I like where this guy's coming from. We should bring mistlefoe back.

New Year’s Rec List #14

The Mistletoe Chronicles by BrightsideIsMyMiddleName || 12.5k

Stiles was happy with his platonic love for Derek, but he knew Scott would end up trying to help; it was part of his god complex. He was just hoping it would be later than sooner.

Of course, the Christmas season started and Scott saw the perfect opportunity to help.

That’s how the Mistletoe Fever started.

Cupid Scott being the best bro ever

A Very Merry Clichéd Christmas by StaciNadia || 2.5k

Stiles wants to do all the cute clichéd Christmas stuff with his boyfriend.

A perfect Christmas with our two favorite boys :)

i trust you by dragneels || 3.5k

5 times Stiles tells Derek he trusts him + 1 time Derek tells Stiles.

I love the 5+1 trope so much

It's Christmas Eve and I've Only Wrapped 2 Fucking Presents by Marishna || 1.5k

Stiles wasn't exactly sure what he expected when he crept into the depot late on Christmas Eve--well, Christmas Day, technically.

Lmao Derek sucks at wrapping presents and it’s great

Agent Halewinkle and the Stilinski Cheer Initiative by WhoNatural || 7k

PROMPT: Derek is an elf sent to the "mortal world" to bring Christmas spirit back into the Stilinski family and accidentally falls in love with Stiles He’s a senior Agent of Cheer, decorated numerous times by the Candy Cane Council for his work in bringing joy to the many jovially-challenged families during the jolly season. His attention to detail has been heralded as ‘heartwarming’, ‘inspiring’ and ‘hella swell’ by several respected trade publications.

Elf Derek is a beautiful, beautiful thing guys

Mistlefoe by rosieeexox || 1.5k

Stiles has had a crush on Derek since...forever. Cora invites him to spend Christmas with the Hale’s.

I love Mama Hale. Talia is the freaking best hands down

Christmas Memos by howl-to-the-wind (greenleaf) || 2k

From: Derek Hale <dhale@hc.com> To: S. Stilinski <batman_boxers@hc.com>, L. Martin <queenscrooge@hc.com>, E. Reyes <redbitchqueen@hc.com>, ...

Subject: Regarding Mistletoes

I shall keep this brief.

I am aware that Christmas is in a few weeks and I am not discouraging everybody from spreading holiday cheer around the company. However, the next person to put up a mistletoe in my general vicinity is going to get fired on the spot.

(Derek is the long-suffering president of Hale Corp, and the rest are testing his patience. Poor Derek.)

I really love how original the formatting is for this story. A lovely read indeed.

Make a Wish and it Just Might Come True by halcyon1993 || 11k

Christmas is fast approaching, and nearly everyone in the Hale pack is excited to spend it together at the rebuilt Hale house. Everyone except for Stiles. He feels left out with his friends all coupled up and can’t quite get into the holiday spirit because he is sure his feelings for the resident alpha are unrequited. Or are they?

Soooooo much pining from these oblivious idiots

I won’t need the mistletoe by SadiablosLikeItHot || 4k

“Listen man, you’re over thinking this. He probably doesn’t even care! It’s Derek! I doubt anything we’ve ever said to him as a joke has stuck with him. All you did was-”

“EAT MY ASS!” Stiles yells it so loudly, that Scott lets go and steps back without even thinking. “I told Derek Hale to eat my ass under the mistletoe, Scott!

Stiles eyes are wide as though he’s only now realizing what he’s said. Scott chokes back a bark of laughter. “I know, and I admit that’s kind of a gross idea on your part, but it’s not like you were serious!”

Uh huh, of course he wasn’t serious. Mm-hmm totally

Laws of Christmas by Boy_On_Strings || 25k

Everyone gathers for a Christmas party, but Lydia has some surprising rules she plans to enforce. Scott and Jackson get a little bit closer, while Allison and Lydia share a surprising moment. Finally, Derek asks Stiles to do something he never thought he would.

Bottom Derek needs more appreciation honestly

Head Cases and Questionable Characters by howl-to-the-wind (greenleaf) || 18k

Working for Argent & Hale, one of the most prestigious legal firms in the country, was always eventful to say the least. It was a big headache a lot of the times, sure, and a pain in the ass in most, but for Stiles Stilinski, it was a dream come true. He adored his colleagues, was paid a boatload of money, and everybody knew that he was damn good at his job.

...Or one where Teen Wolf and Boston Legal collides, everybody is a lawyer (except for Scott), Stiles and Lydia are BAMFs, Laura wants Derek to get laid, and Peter is (as always) creepy as hell. And Chris just wants to do his job but all his attorneys insist on being inappropriate and ridiculous.

Getting back together fic whoop!!!!

Beard Baubles by Marishna || 1k

Scott started it.

He texted a link in the pack group thread showing off his online discovery. Derek clicked it without thinking and frowned when it brought him to a page selling Christmas beard ornaments.

Ha ha, he texted back and then closed his messages app and continued about his day.

He didn’t give it much of a second thought, really.

Lmaoooo Scott why

Hot Chocolate and Black Ice by Spoodlemonkey || 1k

To be completely honest he’s not really sure what’s happened at first. He’s standing one moment, laying on the ground the next, with no in-between. But his tail bone is sore and the ground is cold so he decides that instead of surprised he should be pissed at whoever didn’t salt their sidewalk this morning.

Falling on ice sucks but at least this one was worth it am I right ;)

For the Cold by dontlietomehoney || 3k

The fire alarm keeps going off in Stiles' residence hall and the first time it happens he sees his neighbor, Derek, in his underwear. The second time around, Derek sees Stiles in his.

I’m here for Derek giving Stiles his jacket anyday

The Cintron Hall Situation by dragon_temeraire || 3k

Stiles is freezing and miserable in his dorm, so he decides to knock on his hot neighbor Derek’s door for help.

So damn cute
